    Under the Sea: A Sensory Bin

    Under the Sea: A Sensory Bin

For this sea urchin craft, you will need: Styrofoam balls Black tempura non-toxic paint Toothpicks Plastic Baggies Pape

After a particularly rough week with the kids, I realized that I had sorta lost track of my own processing skill set. It became hard to expect toddlers to proficiently manage feelings when I had gotten into the bad habit of my eyes going blank every time a kid's scream hit a parti
